So many symptoms I can’t handle.

[Glitterpink07]

Hi I’m new here and hoping I can find support. I’m 31 I had my first panic attack at 19 and my life has never been the same. In the beginning it was so bad I never thought I would see the light and then I was ok for a coupe years and now I’m back to the beginning all over agAin. I will admit I gave up going to the drs for the past 2 years because I felt I was not being taken seriously and looked at like I was crazy, but I know I need help and have a new dr and hopefully I can get an appointment soon. I just have so many symptoms I feel it’s not normal I feel anxious all the time, heart palpitations, lightheaded, dizziness, fatigued, I feel like standing up to wash the dishes is a struggle. It’s hard for me to do anything without feeling these symptoms. I hate having to drive I get such anxiety as well.I wish i could stay in bed all day and not get up but i can’t as i have 2 kids that need me but i feel so bad i can’t do anything im so grateful my husband steps up to help. I’m sorry this post is everywhere and just hoping someone that can tell me I’m not going crazy and these symptoms will go away.

Hello and welcome here. You aren't crazy, many of us have these symptoms. For me it is hard to accomplish a little task too, and sometimes I wanna stay in bed whole the day and sleep until depression passes… You don't need to sorry for your thoughts and feelings, because all people have them. I wish you'll find a good therapist. Cognitive therapy is highly recommended for depression and anxiety.

Thank you. When I go to the Dr I will see what they recommend and talk about cognitive therapy to see if that seems like it could help.

Hi Glitterpink07, I understand what you are experiencing with your symptoms.

The feeling of fear and frustration that no doctor seems to believe you or find a reason

behind your illness. Maybe this next new doctor will see how you are suffering.

I thought as you did for many years. I had a team of specialists and yet no one could

come up with a physical issue causing my symptoms.

Going back to the beginning of you experiencing a Panic Attack at 19, what happened

in your life at that time? Anxiety starts with an out of control feeling and escalates from

there if it is not addressed. Welcome to this amazing forum. I think you are going to see

that you are not alone and that your story is repeated many times by all of us. There is a

way out of this nightmare and you can make the difference. xx

Yes I feel as though they think im making all these symptoms up, which some have been unexplainable which makes it harder. On my first panic attack there was no big thing happening in my life my panic attacks came out of nowhere, but I did have a lot stuff in my teens that may have bubbled up to that. Im glad I found this forum and will share when I can get some answers and help.

Hi GlitterpinkO7. Life seems pretty overwhelming for your post. I think it can get better with the right supports in place, patience and some self compassion. Not only are you dealing with anxiety but the pressures of being in a pandemic. We are all pulling for you and hope things become more manageable soon.

[Glitterpink07 in reply to PT81]

Thank you so much for your kind words.

[Glitterpink07]

Would love to know what you think of it after a few more sessions

You are not alone I also suffer with anxiety everyday fatigue

[Glitterpink07 in reply to XoxoFaith]

Hope you can find relief one day soon. I’m here to talk if you need to.

You have recognised your condition and you are looking for some help. That is normal its such a shame that your Dr does not do his/her job. Dont give up looking for the help as there are things that can be done.

While I am a bit older than u, I began with this around the age of 27 not long after having my 2nd child. They went away for years & reappeared with a vengeance 4 years ago (I am 54 now). Been n & out of a behavioral health facility, have hospital bills, dr bills u name it. Its a struggle every day because I have to work. I just wanna stay n bed with the covers over my head & hope it goes away. I know exactly how u feel. 😔😔

[Glitterpink07 in reply to Bluetj]

Sorry you are going through this too. I feel like mine goes away for years as well and then hits me too. I hope one day there will be answers to why we feel like this.

Hello , sometimes I feel I'm all over the place too with emotions. I have had anxiety for the past 16 years and in the beginning before I knew how to control them I would end up in the er thinking I was going to die. Did all the blood work up, heart work up and everything was good but unfortunately we cant always control our powerful minds. Our mind can make us think things that aren't happening. I have to pray a lot and read bible scriptures specifically for anxiety and that helps. We have to live and try to be happy. I have some difficult days as well so I completely understand what you are going through. I hope this helps.

Thank you.

You’re not crazy!! What is crazy, is the Idiots out there who think the word anxiety is an expression when it’s actually a true disorder. It just makes me so upset, because when you tell people you have anxiety, they think you’re being dramatic and it’s over looked. It’s a very real thing and it’s absolutely exhausting especially when you have kids.

I have been the same way, normal tasks feel like the hardest ones.. I see something drop on the floor and i look at it and would rather go lay in my bed than pick it up. I understand you and I don’t even know you.. but I’m here for you!!! Mother to mother, and as a friend.

[Glitterpink07 in reply to Brooke_L]

Thank you for this!!

Glitterpink07 you are not going crazy and you are not alone. I have read people symptoms do go away and I can only hope and pray that they do. For me it’s two years now and just one symptom after another added on daily 24/7 with head pressure very intense nonstop. I have tried several things and so far no luck, but I cannot give up, nor should you. It’s great you have a supportive husband. Claire Weekes help for your nerves is suppose to be a really good book and I have listened to people discussing each chapter, trey jones, the anxiety guy etc etc so many. I just have so many symptoms that’s it’s hard for me to believe it’s just my body acting out. I keep reading on head and finding hope from others too in their stories. This is a great place and I hope you find peace and calmness and can get back to the anxiety free days. It’s a nightmare daily torture is how I feel.
